With Octopz, up to five people can gather online at the same time (synchronously) in a secure virtual room and use text, voice and video chat as well as annotation and markup tools to collaborate on documents and digital media files.
Octopz also gives the room participants the flexibility to log in and work separately (asynchronously) at their convenience, whether they are down the hall or thousands of miles and many time zones apart. These options mean that Octopz is particularly suited to the iterative way that creative professionals work.
As well, in today’s globalized and networked economy, it means that you can work on a project during local business hours, upload revisions to Octopz at the end of the day, and get feedback on the work from a client or supplier that’s half way around the world, while you’re sleep.
To see Octopz in action synchronously or asynchronously, take the quick tour and then sign up for your own free trial account.
